I found this text:
Full ITS first ran on the AI PDP6, and was ported to the DM PDP6.
Later, PDP10s became available, and the labs acquired some of the
earliest ones -- the AI-KA10 (AI Lab's machine), the ML KA-10 (used
by the MathLab, Theory of Computation, Automatic Programming, and
certain other LCS gruops), and the DMS KA-10 (Dynamic Modeling
systems, also used by certain other LCS groups); these replaced the
PDP-6s, which were slowly phased out.
So it seems the DM PDP-6 indeed ran ITS, at least for a while.
